I know, but other than that issue, it's a nice bass. I could always try to get another one, if I can find one for sale, because I do like that model. It's not like used Peaveys are expensive.


If you could find the one you're looking for, that may not be a bad idea.

Probably around 8 to 10 years ago. I got mine in 2007. I think they discontinued them not too long after that.

Are they somewhat easy to acquire? What's the running price on them now?

I just looked and didn't find any so far. Most Peavey basses are usually pretty cheap on the used market. Then again, so are the amps, too. If you don't have a lot of money for bass gear, it's not a bad way to go.

What is the price range of a good used model you're looking for?

Well, mine only cost $275 (it was used) when I got it, so probably no more than that, since they aren't worth that much to begin with. Peaveys aren't pre CBS Fenders, you know. :P

It almost sounds like it may do better to get one of the used ones, or a really good used MIM Fender.

Yeah, but I've been also considering, if possible, some sort of semi or hollowbody bass, maybe like a Hofner type model. I've said I've always wanted a hollowbody, but now I've got a reason for it, if I have to play for a long period of time. My Schecter starts to get to my back after an hour, sometimes less, if I'm standing. It's a heavy mofo, which makes it sound good, but gigging it might start to suck after awhile, unless I can get use to it when I'm standing up, even with the wide strap. I'm thinking something lightweight would help, if I have to play for long periods of time, even to switch out between the two. The point is if I'm going to buy a new instrument, it'll be that. Hopefully, I'll still be able to fix the Peavey without having to replace the neck on it.

The hollow body would be a light weight alternative for sure.

Yeah, besides I've wanted one for almost 30 years now, but never have been able to get one. I guess it's one of those things that have eluded me for some reason or another. :P

I know where you're coming from on that one.

Well, they didn't have any on the market, at least where I lived until probably the early 2000's and I'd never seen any used. Most of those would be the ones from the 60's and cost a lot of money, at least what I could afford. Now, I've seen them on eBay for under $200 with names like Ktone, which probably has dubious quality. I'm sure eventually I'll be able to get something I can use.
